learn to love my pale skin

I love winter because no one judges you for having pale skin.. I am so over this whole tan thing. I really think I have stopped caring but it is hard to tell when it’s fall/winter, summer is when there is more pressure (especially in the desert). I think I may check this off for now, and we’ll see how it goes when summer goes!

I am so pale and I always have been. I have always gotten shit for it. But I am going to try to learn to love my skin. At the beginning of the summer, I went to a tanning salon a couple times to try to tan, I turned red/orange and was extremely burnt (and my boyfriend asked me, “why would you do that to yourself…? Doesn’t it hurt??”) and then I just turned white again.. Oh well. I quit! Now I just have to learn to love it…

I have ghostly pale skin and i love it. It looks fresh and lovely and adds to the sense of mystery.

In high school I used to go to the tanning bed almost every day. I was bronzed alright, but after developing a skin allergy…tanning would make my skin break out in hives. Most of the people I grew up around considered being tanned extremely attractive…but I have started taking care of my skin and I think it’s a bigger challenge to have pale skin. I’m starting to like looking a little bit more natural…:)

I’ve never understood some people’s obsession with having to be tanned all the time. I’m white and that’s the way it is. Unless you naturally have a darker skin tone, you shouldn’t try to have one I think, none of the ways of getting it are particularly good for you. Appreciate what you’ve got.
